Robust hybrid elastomer/metal-oxide superhydrophobic surfaces.
We introduce a new type of hybrid material: a nanostructured elastomer covered by a hard photoactive metal-oxide thin film resembling the exoskeleton of insects. It has extreme water repellency and fast self-recovery after damage. A new fabrication method for replicating high aspect ratio, hierarchical re-entrant aluminum structures into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is presented. The method is b...
متن کاملTowards optimization of patterned superhydrophobic surfaces.
Experimental and theoretical study of wetting properties of patterned Si surfaces with cylindrical flat-top pillars of various sizes and pitch distances is presented. The values of the contact angle (CA), contact angle hysteresis (CAH) and tilt angle (TA) are measured and compared with the theoretical values. Transition from the composite solid-liquid-air to the homogeneous solid-liquid interfa...
متن کاملHierarchical roughness optimization for biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces.
Superhydrophobic surfaces should have high contact angles (CA) with water and low contact angle hysteresis (CAH). High CA may be achieved by increasing surface roughness, while in order to have low CAH, superhydrophobic surfaces should be able to form a stable composite interface with air pockets between solid and liquid. Capillary waves, nanodroplets condensation, hydrophilic spots due to chem...
متن کاملSuperhydrophobic surfaces reduce drag
Rare and common The hot grains of tektite and obsidian that show up in HD 172555’s IR spectrum are small enough that the star’s radiation pressure would drive them away from their current 6-AU orbit within 0.1 million years. The SiO molecules would likely condense and reform minerals on the same time scale. Given that rocky planets take 100 My to form, catching a giant impact in HD172555, despi...
متن کاملMechanically durable superhydrophobic surfaces.
Development of durable non-wetting surfaces is hindered by the fragility of the microscopic roughness features that are necessary for superhydrophobicity. Mechanical wear on superhydrophobic surfaces usually shows as increased sticking of water, leading to loss of non-wettability. Increased wear resistance has been demonstrated by exploiting hierarchical roughness where nanoscale roughness is p...
